Bonanza does not compare with them. El Dorado is great. A dozenof the E] Doradoclaims will yield a million each, and probably more of them, Then, the benches on french hill and Skookum and Gold hill are marvelous. They are not prospected yet, but are turning out very rich pay. But when you leave that little strip along El Dorado and Bonanza you find nothing great so far as proved. Certainly nothing as good or better than the Alaska mines at Birch Creek or in the Forty Mile country has been found off El Dorado and Bonanza. Birch Creek and Forty Mile districts and others along the Yukon in Alaska, are being éxploited this winter by nearly _10,000-miners, and-many of them are working diggings that have for many years been known to be worth at least wages, and many new creeks are reported to prospect very well. Several thousand men are on the Koyukak. Supplies in Alaska are comparatively plentifal and well distributed, and cheaper than at Dawson. 0 the outlook for govd returns there is the best. Then it may be said that a larger proportion of the men in Alaska are real miners, and not rainbow chasers. + e@e o --Made the Conductor Stop.

Bonanza does not compare with them. El Dorado is great. A dozenof the E] Doradoclaims will yield a million each, and probably more of them, Then, the benches on french hill and Skookum and Gold hill are marvelous. They are not prospected yet, but are turning out very rich pay. But when you leave that little strip along El Dorado and Bonanza you find nothing great so far as proved. Certainly nothing as good or better than the Alaska mines at Birch Creek or in the Forty Mile country has been found off El Dorado and Bonanza. Birch Creek and Forty Mile districts and others along the Yukon in Alaska, are being éxploited this winter by nearly _10,000-miners, and-many of them are working diggings that have for many years been known to be worth at least wages, and many new creeks are reported to prospect very well. Several thousand men are on the Koyukak. Supplies in Alaska are comparatively plentifal and well distributed, and cheaper than at Dawson. 0 the outlook for govd returns there is the best. Then it may be said that a larger proportion of the men in Alaska are real miners, and not rainbow chasers. + e@e o --Made the Conductor Stop.
